Description

The L6986I is a device specifically designed for the isolated buck topology. Due to

the P-Channel MOSFET as high-side power switch the device features 100 duty

cycle operation. The primary output voltage can be accurately adjusted, whereas

the isolated secondary output is derived by using a given transformer ratio. No

optocoupler is required. The primary sink capability up to 1.9 A (even during softstart)

allows a proper energy transfer to the secondary side as well as enables a

tracked soft-start of the secondary output. The control loop is based on a peak

current mode architecture and the device operates in forced PWM. The 300 ns

blanking time filters oscillations, generated by the transformer leakage inductance,

making the solution more robust. Pulse by pulse current sensing on both power

elements implements an effective constant current protection in the primary side.

Due to the primary reverse current limit, the secondary output is protected against

short circuit events. A primary output voltage supervisor, which notifies primary output

voltage regulation through the RST open collector output, overvoltage protection,

adjustable switching frequency, synchronization and a programmable soft-start are

also available.
